My first impression isn't all that good. - I see a lot of elements loading with no content for several seconds. - Posts open up in the same type of overlay new reddit also uses. not a fan of that. - Closing the overlay makes the page reload a bit again. - Heavy focus on fluff content, a lot of the issues people have with reddit is the heavy focus on fluff content in the past few years. "The Fluff Principle: on a user-voted news site, the links that are easiest to judge will take over unless you take specific measures to prevent it." Source: Article by Paul Graham (the guy that started HN and funded reddit way back in the day) http://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html http://www.paulgraham.com/hackernews.html. What this means is basically the following, say you have two submissions: 1. An article - takes a few minutes to judge. 2. An image - takes a few seconds to judge. So in the time that it takes person A to read and judge he article person B, C, D, E en F already saw the image and made their judgement. So basically images will rise to the top not because they are more popular, but simply because it takes less time to vote on them so they gather votes faster.
